Rebellious officials bow their heads

"—Kill him for me!" Chen Hu's angry roar made everyone wake up.

The bandit behind Ye Liuzhou was about to draw out his sword and slash at it, when the other party turned around and raised his hand, the dagger was thrust into his palm abruptly, the sound of blood and flesh being torn was accompanied by the bandit's screams!

The man then drew out the long sword from the enemy's scabbard, turned the blade of the sword without turning his head, blocked the attack from the right with a clang, and swung across the opponent's neck——

The icy arc light is like falling snow under the moon, and the splashed blood is like falling red plum petals. Against the man's eyebrows, it looks like a ruthless and poignant painting.

Xu Yan was suppressed by the shoulders, unable to move. This scene shocked him far more than Cui Cui's sudden betrayal. He completely forgot to react, and his pupils widened to the extreme, reflecting this scene that had been under his protection all this time. down man.

The sword edge quickly took the lives of the two of them one after another. The bandit who was impaled into the palm of his hand by the dagger couldn't recover from the severe pain, and felt a huge shadow enveloped him, and the next moment the long sword stabbed mercilessly. His heart thumped loudly.

The man held his slender hands on the hilt of his sword, and behind him a mass of bandits surrounded him.

Ye Liuzhou unhurriedly held the sword with his right hand, turned around from the corpse, and looked at them with lingering bloody eyes.

Countless people flocked to the man in the center in a noisy and chaotic manner, swords and swords enveloped him from all directions, and dense and chaotic movements entered his mind one after another.Among them, the clear sound from the sword was exceptionally clear, overshadowing the noise and bringing about invisible vibrations in the air.

The sword light is like a snow-white lightning, wide open horizontally, instantly tearing the picture into two halves!

The thumb, broken arm, and flesh splashed outwards with gushing blood!

Every move Ye Liuzhou swung out was as quick as a thunderbolt, hitting the enemy's deadly point fiercely, leaving no room for it, but every step closer to his body would be decapitated in the blink of an eye.

The blood stained his original snow-white robe, and layers of corpses were piled up under his feet, making him look like a ghost climbing out of hell, and the other shore flowers by the Santu River were blooming around him, exuding a bloodbath. And the strange beauty born.

The rest of the bandits looked at him with trepidation, hesitating so timidly that even the hands that held their weapons trembled.

"Ye Liuzhou..." Xu Yan made a dry voice.

The man in front of him in the bloody wind was far from the unsuspecting Ye Liuzhou, far beyond his imagination, like a stranger.

In other words, he never really understood Ye Liuzhou.

No one dared to step forward, and the surroundings became dead silent. Chen Hu pushed the minions around him, and shouted angrily: "Go! Kill him!"

The bandit was pushed and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Chen Hu's veins bulged, he drew his knife out of its sheath, strode towards Ye Liuzhou, swung the knife up with a shout, and slashed at him like a broken bamboo!

Ye Liuzhou swung his sword directly, and with the flash of the sword's edge, Chen Hu's hand holding the sword flew two or three feet away, then he raised his leg and kicked the opponent's chest hard, Chen Hu followed Fly out with his hand!

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Chen Hu couldn't get up from the ground for a while, his bloodshot eyes looked at everyone in embarrassment, from Chen Sheng's body, passing by the couple hugging each other, the trembling Cui Cui stopped at Xu On Yan's body, he suddenly laughed sinisterly, and sternly said to his opponent: "Catch this Xu!"

Chen Hu turned his head suddenly, and said to Ye Liuzhou viciously: "Throw away your sword, or I will kill him!"

Ye Liuzhou looked at him expressionlessly.

Xu Yan frowned deeply, before he could react, suddenly there were chaotic footsteps in the surrounding woods, quickly approaching this side.

Dozens of masked men dressed in killing black appeared from the darkness, approached Ye Liuzhou in the middle, and then knelt down in unison, the leader bowed his head respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "See Your Majesty, your Majesty is sorry for the delay in coming to save you."

Xu Yan's heart tightened suddenly, his face was a little dazed, as if he hadn't realized the meaning, and then slowly, his expression became stiff inch by inch.

When the bandits heard this, they looked at each other in dismay, but they didn't dare to go forward because of the sudden appearance. Someone noticed the weapons they were wearing, with golden scorpion patterns wrapped around the sword body, and the minion tremblingly said: "They are Xuanxiu Guards..."

This sentence caused a burst of confusion, and the bandits immediately panicked, "Xuanxie Guards? Why did they appear here?!"

The most appalling murderous weapon in the court is under the command of the royal family. The name of the Xuanxie Guard is known to everyone, even the bandits in this remote frontier are no exception.

Xu Yan looked at the man in the crowd, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, he felt as cold as being covered by frost, but his mind was torn by countless memory fragments from the past - he should have known it earlier.

The minutiae between the two of them, the countless clues, and even the unexpected show of the other party, were ignored by him either unintentionally or intentionally. He should have known from the very beginning that the person rescued from the Taixuan Palace was who.

Anyone in this world can do it, but...but...

He closed his eyes and clenched his teeth so tightly that the muscles on his face were twisted. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes and met the gaze of the man opposite him. His voice seemed to be quenched from between his teeth. Squeeze out, "Ye Liuzhou——"

The man looked at him, plunged his long sword into the soil, took the cloth towel from Xuanxie Wei beside him, wiped the blood on his hands casually, and said, "Wrong, it's Xie Linze."

Countless crows were flying and hovering in the sky, like large black clouds, their piercing calls echoed endlessly, shaking off the dark feathers all over the sky.

The two looked at each other with an emotion they had never felt before.

The leader of Xuanxie Guards brought the horse, Xie Linze grabbed the rein and got on the horse, and ordered: "Clean up all these bandits..."

He turned his gaze, looked at the terrified couple and Cui Cui, and continued, "Including them."

Xu Yan staggered up while supporting the ground, and just took a step back.

Xie Linze suddenly looked over at him, with an ambiguous smile on his lips, and said word by word: "Grab him."

-

The corpses all over the crow forest were cleaned up, but the strong bloody smell lingered for a long time. A group of people shuttled among the lush and scattered branches. Xu Yan was tied to the horse's back with five flowers, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and he moved up and down. no.

Xie Linze rode his horse and walked in the front, followed by the black-armored leader of the Xuanxie Guard on the right side, and said to the man: "During the two days when you and Ji Yan left Yuan's mansion, the old department of the Dusi rescued Yuan Xuanfeng, and he integrated the scattered The soldiers from the Dusi battalion, spies came to report an hour ago, and Pang Qing is leading the rebuke wolf cavalry to press into the Dusi's third gate, I am afraid that the two of them have matched up now."

"Yeah." Xie Linze said plainly, "It's time to collect the bodies of the two of them."

"Your Majesty?!" Xuan Qian, the leader of the Xuanxie Guards, said in astonishment, "Your Majesty's order is for his subordinates to bring you back to the palace. Besides, given your physical condition, how can you go to the capital again?"

"Enough." Xie Linze interrupted him impatiently, "The blood of Crow Forest hasn't dried yet, do you want to taste it too?"

Xuanqian wanted to speak but stopped several times, and finally closed his mouth.

-

The tall and majestic stone gate of the Dusi Mansion stood under the scorching sun. Two teams of ten thousand horses stood on each side, densely packed with blackness, and the armor and weapons shone with cold light, like a fortified barrier, with a huge momentum.

Yuan Xuanfeng stood on a high stone platform, and the soldiers around him held shields to cover his figure, only the upper body and a head were exposed.

A hundred meters away on the opposite side, Pang Qing didn't have so much cover. He was riding on a steed in silver armor, and behind him was an unstoppable stretch of cavalry.

He roared loudly: "Command the officers and men of the envoys! You guard this barren and bitterly cold Lingbei day and night, for the sake of the Wanli Guozuo behind you, and for the relatives, wives and children who live behind you, In order for me to protect myself from foreign enemies!"

"And your general—Yuan Xuanfeng colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, colluded with Beirao, transported gunpowder and weapons, and said all the high-sounding words! It's an act of wolf ambition to call it an extermination of rebellious officials! I have already collected his correspondence with Beirao's evil party The evidence is as solid as a mountain! Are you going to risk your life for this kind of person, betray Dazhao! betray your Majesty! betray your relatives?!"

The sound of Pang Qing's words was deafening, echoing between the stone gates, and all the battalion soldiers below heard the words, commotion and buzzing.

Seeing this, Yuan Xuanfeng's face changed a little, and he said: "There is absolutely no such thing! I, Yuan Xuanfeng, swear to the heavens that I am worthy of Dazhao! In fact, Ji's alarmist words, without the emperor's edict, framed me! I can't listen to Pang Qing's nonsense, he scolded the wolf The iron cavalry approaching was ordered by Feng Jihan! There is no name for the teacher!"

The voice below subsided a little.

Pang Qing smiled coldly, "Yuan Xuanfeng, you still dare to speak out, you are really not afraid of God's blame. If you really have a clear conscience, why don't you let me pass on the evidence to the soldiers to see!"

Then he raised his voice and said: "Rebuking the wolf iron cavalry has absolutely no intention of going to war with the soldiers of the Dusi battalion. We are all the people of Dazhao, and our swords and swords should be directed at the enemy. You tens of thousands of brothers who are trapped in the bushes, we have not hurt any of them. , just imprison them, and release them all when Yuan Xuanfeng's true face is torn apart!"

After the words fell, there was a violent commotion among the soldiers of the Dusi camp. It turned out that someone had compared Yuan Xuanfeng's usual letters with Bei Rao's handwriting and distributed them to the crowd, causing an uproar, which continued to expand.

Yuan Xuanfeng's expression changed completely, "It was Pang Qing'an who stepped in!" He turned his head and shouted angrily to his subordinates: "Catch him yet!"

But it was already too late, as Pang Qing said, the evidence was solid, coupled with the defeat in the first battle of the bush, no soldiers wanted to face this invincible wolf-repelling cavalry, and the hearts of the people were scattered for a while.

Looking at the noisy place below, Yuan Xuanfeng's face suddenly twisted, showing a sinister smile, and said loudly: "It's just a false testimony created by them! It's just used to deceive people's eyes and ears. Besides, there are no traces of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital. Who can tell?" Prove your words, Pang Qing! Scolding the wolf cavalry is just a false name! There is nothing terrible, this battle will never return to the scolding wolf cavalry!"

Pang Qing sneered, "Who gave you the courage to speak out?"

Yuan Xuanfeng laughed treacherously: "My chance of winning lies in the gunpowder buried under the feet of you and your scolding wolf cavalry. Once I order it to be ignited, you will all be wiped out!"

Pang Qing was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes dangerously.

When the two sides were deadlocked, a lazy voice came from the side: "General Yuan, who do you want to blow up?"
